Stan & Ollie (2018) Review
Based on the true story of Laurel and Hardy’s tour of the UK and Ireland, a truly outstanding and very famous comedy duo attempting to reignite their film career touring the theatres. Not going to plan when the ticket sales are a lot lower than they expected.

Top 25 – Female Performances in 2018
Something very positive from 2018 was how many fantastic roles in film we had for women, this list was extremely difficult to put together this year as I certainly had a lot to choose from! That can obviously only be a very good thing in my opinion.
Here are the 25 performances that made it onto my list . . .

Top 25 – Male Performances in 2018
A very tough list to put together as it is really hard to narrow it down to 25 performances. I have somehow managed and the order could so easily be interchangeable between different performance types. But here are the 25 male performances that impressed me the most in films from 2018 that I managed to watch over the course of the year.
Take a look at who made the final list . . .
Colette (2018) Review
Colette is pushed by her husband Willy to write a novel when the pair come on tough times, passing it off as his own and basking in the success. When she eventually wants recognition it does not work out as easily as she had planned.
